The Sarona crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Washburn County. Bathing stays at home, where it belongs.
One number reaches the people who fit the tubs. Say what the bathroom is like and we take it from there.
(844) 578-1861Take your time on the phone. Who does the bathing, how they get around today, the size of the bathroom and the doorways on the way in: that is all we need to set a date for the visit.
Getting in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain as the years slip by.
This is why many homeowners choose to modify their bathrooms with accessible, low-threshold bathing units.
Our local team visits your home to assess your space and provide a completely free written estimate.
Picture yourself stepping over a tiny barrier of just a few inches instead of balancing on one wet foot.
This simple change removes the daily anxiety of slipping on slick porcelain.
We help you regain your independence with reliable, watertight upgrades that fit your existing layout perfectly.
Choosing the right setup involves looking at your specific physical needs and your bathroom dimensions.
Because of this, we never offer cookie-cutter pricing over the phone.
Our friendly professionals visit your property to measure everything and hand you an accurate, no-obligation quote.
Standard layouts force you to step over a high wall while navigating wet, slippery tile.
Which means you are always one small slip away from a very painful fall.
Our custom installations feature a heavy-duty door with a lifetime pressure seal to keep water inside the unit.
On top of that, these specialized structures come with built-in contoured seating.
This lets you sit comfortably at a natural chair height while soaking in warm water.
You will not have to struggle to push yourself up from the floor of the tub anymore.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we put together a quick comparison of standard features.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Accessible Safe Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating | None (floor level) | Contoured built-in seat |
| Safety Bars | Must buy separately | Integrated grab bars |
| Drainage Speed | Slow gravity drain | Powered fast-drain options |
As you can see, the differences are massive when it comes to daily physical effort.
Investing in this upgrade means you can age in place without worrying about moving to an assisted facility.
We love helping neighbors in our tiny Washburn County community stay in the homes they cherish.
Many folks worry that their current bathroom is simply too small for a safety-focused upgrade.
Fortunately, these units are designed to match the footprint of a standard five-foot bathtub.
This means we can usually swap out your old fixture without tearing down your load-bearing walls.
During our free home consultation, we look at your plumbing lines and water heater capacity.
Since these deep basins hold more water, you might want to consider upgrading to a fast-fill faucet.
We explain all these technical details in plain language so you can make an informed choice.
Our local crew takes care of the entire process from teardown to the final cleanup.
We haul away your old, heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin so you do not have to lift a finger.
You get a beautiful, clean, ready-to-use setup that keeps you safe for decades to come.
Sitting cold while waiting for the water to empty out is a common complaint about these deep units.
To solve this issue, we offer advanced dual-drain systems that empty the basin in under eighty seconds.
This lets you open the door and step out onto your dry bath mat without catching a chill.
Which is why our neighbors in the 54870 ZIP code area appreciate our focus on practical details.
We live in a beautiful northern wilderness where winter temperatures drop fast, making a warm bathroom essential.
Our fast-draining options keep you cozy because you can exit the enclosure almost immediately after your bath.
Safety is not just about the door, it is also about having secure handholds where you need them most.
Our premium setups include strategically placed, ADA-compliant grab bars that are anchored directly to the frame.
You can pull yourself up or steady your balance without trusting suction cups that slip.
Additionally, the floor of the basin features a deeply textured slip-resistant pattern.
Even when soapy water covers the bottom, your feet stay firmly planted.
This gives you the confidence to enjoy your daily routine without waiting for a family member to assist you.
We start by protecting your floors with heavy drop cloths before bringing in any tools.
Then, our experienced technicians carefully disconnect your old plumbing and slide out the old fixture.
We inspect the subfloor for any hidden water damage or rot before we place the new unit.
Once the area is clean and prepped, we level the new enclosure using adjustable steel support legs.
This prevents any shifting or squeaking when you step inside the basin.
We hook up the new drain lines and overflow valves, ensuring every connection is absolutely watertight.
Finally, we seal the edges with high-grade, mold-resistant silicone to protect your walls.
We test the door seal and run the water to verify that everything drains perfectly.
You get to inspect our work and ask any questions before we pack up our tools.
Every home is unique, which is why we do not believe in flat-rate pricing that hides surprise fees.
Our written estimates break down the cost of materials, plumbing adjustments, and labor.
We want you to feel completely comfortable with the investment before we schedule the project.
While some national companies charge astronomical prices, our local service keeps overhead low.
This allows us to offer competitive pricing while using top-tier, durable materials that last.
We believe that safety in your own home should not cost an absolute fortune.
With a local population of just 382 residents, we treat every customer like our actual neighbor.
That is why we offer honest advice on which features are worth the money and which ones you can skip.
Inward-opening doors use the natural pressure of the water to help keep the seal tight.
However, they can be a bit tricky to navigate if you have limited mobility in your legs.
An outward-swinging door offers wide-open access but requires more clearance space in your bathroom layout.
We help you weigh these options by demonstrating how each style functions during our visit.
By looking at your bathroom floor plan, we can recommend the door style that prevents collisions with your vanity or toilet.
This ensures your daily routine remains smooth and completely hassle-free.
Because these deep basins hold a large volume of water, your current tank might struggle to fill them.
We evaluate your existing water heater during our free quote visit to see if it can handle the job.
If needed, we can install a modern tankless heater or a larger capacity tank to keep your baths hot.
This means you will never have to worry about running out of warm water halfway through your soak.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that your new bathroom setup works flawlessly from day one.
We take care of all the plumbing details so you can simply sit back and relax.

Three ideas carry the whole invention. Once they make sense, the rest of this page is just detail.
You open the door, walk in on a dry floor, sit down and close it. Only then does the water run. Because the door swings into the tub, the water itself presses it against its seal: the fuller the tub, the tighter it holds. The design cannot forget to be shut properly.
An ordinary bathtub asks you to swing a leg over a wall some fifteen inches tall, on wet tile, usually while holding nothing sturdier than a towel bar. A walk-in tub asks for a small step, about the height of a stair riser cut in half, with a grab bar placed exactly where your hand goes looking for one.
The honest cost of the sealed door is that you sit while the tub fills and while it empties. Makers answer with fast drains, often two of them, that send the water away in a couple of minutes, and with heated seats and warm air so those minutes pass kindly. We time both on your own plumbing at the assessment.
We install walk-in tubs, so you might expect us to always recommend one. We will not. If you have not enjoyed a bath in twenty years, a walk-in shower may serve you better, and we will say so at your own sink. Here is the honest picture.
| The question | Walk-in tub | Walk-in shower |
|---|---|---|
| What bathing feels like | A full warm soak, jets if you want them | A quick rinse, standing or on a bench |
| Time it asks of you | Longer: fill, soak, drain | Minutes, in and out |
| Floor space needed | Sits in the footprint of the old bathtub | Wants a little more open floor to work well |
| Budget, installed | Higher, because the door and seal are precision work | Often lower for a simple conversion |
| Sore joints and tired muscles | Warm water and jets do real, daily good here | No soak, so none of the soak's relief |
| Who tends to love it | People who cherish their bath and mean to keep it | People who shower quickly and want easy cleaning |
The deciding question is usually the first row. If the answer to "do you miss your bath" is yes, the rest of the table tends to follow.
We cut it free, shield the floors along the hallway and carry it out gently. Most old bathtubs are gone from the house before lunch.
Walk-in tubs are built to travel through ordinary doorways. Every door on the route gets measured at the assessment, so delivery day holds no surprises.
Your supply lines usually stay where they are. We fit the new valve, the hand shower and the quick drain, and check that your water heater can fill a proper soak.
The door is the heart of the tub, so it gets the slow, careful hour: aligned, adjusted and closed on its seal until the gap reads even all the way around.
When your tub has hydrotherapy, the pumps go in quiet, the lines are purged, and every control lands where a seated bather reaches it without leaning.
Panels and trim close the sides and the caulk lines are drawn clean. Then the tub is filled to the very brim once, and we watch the seal earn its keep.
We would rather tell you this before you fall in love with a tub. A walk-in tub is a home improvement, not medical equipment, and it is paid for out of the household budget the way a new roof or a rebuilt porch is. Anyone who tells you otherwise on a first phone call is selling harder than they are listening.
We make no claim about what any plan, programme or agency might do on your behalf, and we will not guess for them. Those questions belong to the people who administer them, and their answer is the only one that counts. Ask them directly, and ask before you commit to anything, including anything of ours.
What we can do is make the asking easy. Your quote arrives itemized, every line explained, so whoever needs to see it gets a precise document instead of a vague promise. That is the whole of what we control, and we would rather hand you that than a hopeful sentence about somebody else's money.
You tell us who bathes and how they get around, the rough size of the bathroom and how the tub would travel in. A few minutes on the phone, and a date for the visit.
We come to your home, measure the bathroom and every doorway on the route, and listen. No van full of tubs at the curb, no clipboard theatrics, no hurry.
A written quote follows, with each line explained in plain words: the tub, the work, the removal of the old one. Show it to your family. Sleep on it as long as you like.
One crew, one to three days. The old tub out, the new one plumbed, sealed and tested full. Your water is off for hours at a stretch, never for days.
Before we leave, we go through the door, the seat, the drain and the controls with the person who will actually bathe, until every part of it feels ordinary.
| The project | Usual bracket | What sits inside it |
|---|---|---|
| Walk-in soaker tub, installed | $4,000 - $8,000 | The tub, the door, removal of the old bathtub and the full fitting. |
| Hydrotherapy tub with jets | $6,000 - $12,000 | Water jets, warm air or both, with the pumps and controls they need. |
| Bariatric or wide-door tub | $7,000 - $14,000 | Wider seats and doors on a reinforced frame, sized at the assessment. |
| Removing the old bathtub alone | $450 - $1,200 | Folded into the lines above; priced apart only if you stop there. |
| Dedicated electrical circuit | $400 - $1,000 | Heated seats and pumps want their own breaker when the panel has no spare. |
| Walk-in tub and shower combo | $8,000 - $15,000 | One unit that soaks and showers, for households that want both. |
Your bathroom, your plumbing and the tub you choose set the final figure. That is exactly what the assessment is for.
| The feature | What it is | Why it counts |
|---|---|---|
| Low threshold | A step of about four inches into the tub | The climb over a bathtub wall is where most bathroom falls begin. Removing the climb removes the moment. |
| Seat at chair height | A molded seat near seventeen inches, like a dining chair | Sitting down and standing back up stay easy on knees and hips, with no lowering to the floor of a tub. |
| Grab bars where hands land | Fixed bars at the door and beside the seat | Balance never has to depend on a towel bar that was only ever meant to hold towels. |
| Textured floor and seat | Slip resistance molded into the tub surface itself | Wet feet keep their grip without rubber mats that curl, slide and grow things. |
| Anti-scald valve | A mixing valve that caps how hot water can arrive | Skin grows thinner with the years. The valve keeps a hot surprise from ever reaching it. |
You do sit in the tub while it fills, so the wait is real: usually a few minutes, depending on your water pressure and your heater. Many bathers spend it with the warm air running or the hand shower on their shoulders. At the assessment we run your own faucet and give you an honest minute count for your own bathroom, not a brochure number.
The door only opens once the water is gone, so the drain matters. Fast drain systems empty most tubs in about two minutes, and heated seats and warm air keep the chill away while they do. We will tell you plainly which tubs drain fastest on your plumbing around Sarona.
The door seals the way a ship's hatch does: the water itself presses it shut, so a good seal gets tighter as the tub fills. Every tub we fit is filled to the brim and watched before we call the job finished, and the seal carries the maker's warranty. If it ever weeps, we come back, and the trip costs you nothing.
Nearly always, because walk-in tubs are designed to travel through ordinary hallways and door frames. We measure the whole route at the assessment, front porch to bathroom. If a doorway is genuinely too narrow, you hear it from us at your kitchen table, never on delivery day.
Yes, and it happens all the time. We can hold the assessment while you are there in person, on the phone or on a video call, and the written quote goes to whoever is helping with the decision. The walkthrough at the end is always done with the person who will actually bathe.
No. We measure, we listen, we leave a written price, and your house is your own again. Some families decide that week and some take a season. The figure holds as written, and nobody from our side will camp on your phone line.
